Drunk Sperm
Ask Shitty Scientists your Shitty Science Questions
Title says it all really, If I get drunk, will my 'swimmers' also get drunk?
Yes but it's not that pleasant and it costs $20-$50 depending on the neighborhood.
Yes and no. In the first few stages of alcohol intoxication, your sex cells reach what is calked a "hypodextros frenzy". In other words, your sperm becomes incredibly eager to leave the body and fulfil its evolutionary function, but the alcohol prevents the cells from properly fertilizing the egg. This is why sex after a few drinks very rarely leads to pregnancy: sperm affected by alcohol simply cannot focus. In the later stages of intoxication, however, sperm lose the will to live and actually can overdose in your testicles. This is why we have the term "whiskey dick". After a certain number of drinks (around 20 or so), ejaculation becomes physically impossible. Tl;Dr A few drinks can get your sperm drunk enough to keep anyone from getting pregnant, too many and you could render yourself infertile for life.
Stupid questions should go to r/askscience .
Yes. If you get really drunk, then they will get so drunk that they can't find the egg, so it's a really good idea to have sex while drunk.

And the risk of sexually transmitted infection climbs with more drinking, research suggests
THURSDAY, Oct. 2, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The more alcohol young men drink, the lower their sperm count and quality may be, new research suggests.
"Many studies have shown that excessive alcohol intake is bad for general health, but few have shown impacts on reproductive health, except at very high levels," said Dr. Michael Eisenberg, an assistant professor of urology at Stanford University School of Medicine who was not involved with the study. "This provides another lifestyle factor that men could be counseled about when trying to conceive."
Although the men drinking the most alcohol each week -- 40 units or more -- had the lowest sperm counts, the most surprising finding was that an effect was seen even in men drinking as little as five units a week, said lead researcher Dr. Tina Kold Jensen, a professor of environmental medicine at the University of Southern Denmark. A unit was defined as a single beer, a glass of wine or about the equivalent of a shot glass of liquor.
However, because of the study's design, the research couldn't show that alcohol was the cause of sperm changes, only that higher levels of drinking were associated with fewer and less quality sperm. The researchers said they did try to take other possible causes into account, however.
"We tried to adjust for other possible factors like diet, smoking, weight, etc., which did not explain the association. But we cannot rule out whether this effect may be due to other factors [not measured] associated with alcohol intake," Jensen said.
The research involved more than 1,200 Danish men undergoing a required medical examination to determine whether they were fit for military service. The men were between the ages of 18 and 28. They filled out questionnaires about their drinking, provided a semen sample and had their blood drawn.
Sperm concentration, total sperm count and percentage of normal sperm were all poorer among men having at least five drinks a week, compared to those drinking just one drink weekly. The amount of testosterone measured in the men's blood, however, increased as their alcohol intake increased.
The drop in sperm count and quality became particularly significant among men downing at least 25 drinks a week. Those drinking 40 or more drinks a week had a 33 percent lower sperm concentration than those consuming one to five drinks a week.
Binge drinking -- having five or more drinks in a two-hour period -- did not appear to influence the men's sperm. One possible reason for this finding was that it was difficult to distinguish between binging and men's typical weekly alcohol consumption because "most young men who binged also had a high alcohol intake," the researchers noted.
"Many men are quiet drinkers who don't realize that this may affect them as they drink a lot more than they admit to," said Dr. Michael Heard, an obstetrician, gynecologist and reproductive endocrinologist at The Heard Clinic and Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston.
According to Heard, being intoxicated can lead to changes in hormones and other chemicals in the body, including cortisol, glucose, insulin and male hormones. "All of these would affect sperm quality," he said. And, poor sperm quality can affect fertility, he added.
The study was published in the Oct. 2 issue of the journal BMJ Open .
A second study found that drinking a lot of alcohol was linked to a higher risk of contracting human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted disease. This study was published in the Oct. 2 issue of the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections .
HPV can cause head and neck cancers and penile and anal cancers in men, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI). A vaccine available to men under age 27 protects against two of the cancer-causing strains of HPV, according to the NCI.
The second study included more than 1,300 American men. The researchers found that those who drank the most alcohol (more than 10 grams a day) were 13 percent more likely to have any HPV type and 35 percent more likely to have a cancer-related HPV type, compared to those drinking the least amount of alcohol (less than 0.1 gram per day). The U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines a standard drink as one containing 14 grams of alcohol.
Even after the researchers took into account the number of sex partners the men had and whether they smoked -- another risk factor for HPV-associated cancers -- the study still found an link between alcohol consumption and HPV infection.
Past research has found that moderate alcohol consumption can reduce the body's ability to defend against viral infections, the study noted. However, as with the first study, this research was only able to find an association; it wasn't designed to prove that alcohol definitively caused the increased risk.
"Alcohol may have an effect on the immune system, which may increase the risk of HPV," Heard said, though he expressed doubt about the accuracy of the men's reported sexual activity and number of partners.
All three experts said, however, that these findings all point to the importance of limiting alcohol intake among young men.
"Given the known health impacts of excessive drinking, these new studies provide newer risk factors for higher alcohol consumption," Eisenberg said. "Thus, moderation is probably best."

For many of us, alcohol is synonymous with relaxing – it often plays a central role in our social activities and it’s frequently used to help us wind down after work. But while the occasional drink can be a pleasurable way to relax and de-stress, in large amounts it can actually threaten a man’s sexual performance and his chances of fatherhood.
Alcohol can be extremely harmful to the male reproductive system. It is toxic to the testicles and affects the all-important cells that are involved in making sperm and producing the male hormone testosterone. It also seems to affect hormone production at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain.
So not only does alcohol have a detrimental affect on the testicles themselves, it also upsets the delicate balance of hormones necessary for normal, healthy sperm production.
Chronic heavy drinking can cause shrinkage of the testicles (ouch!) and decreased testosterone production. This can result in impotence (the infamous ‘brewer’s droop’), the loss of male characteristics (for example reduced facial and chest hair), the development of ‘man-boobs’ and the deposition of more fat on the hips. In cases of alcohol abuse, it can also cause infertility.
A number of studies have found that heavy alcohol consumption in men appears to affect sperm count and sperm quality. The shape (or morphology) of the sperm seems to be particularly affected, which may reduce their ability to fertilize the egg.
And it might not just be heavy drinkers that risk damaging their sperm. Even moderate alcohol consumption appears to affect sperm count and quality.
In one study , moderate alcohol consumption of 5 or more units a week (1 unit of alcohol was described as 1 beer, a glass of wine or 40ml of spirits), was found to be associated with decreased sperm count and sperm quality, although the effects were more obvious in men who typically drank more than 25 units a week. Hormone changes were also experienced at these levels of consumption.
The good news is, that abstaining from alcohol can reverse the harmful effects on sperm production and quality. Sperm take up to 72 days to mature however, so the positive effects that you gain from abstaining probably won’t ‘kick in’ for about 2 – 3 months, possibly longer.
Whether or not drinking alcohol actually leads to fertility problems however, is still controversial, though a couple of recent studies suggests that it does, at least in the IVF setting.
One study found that alcohol intake by the male partner during fertility treatment (IVF and GIFT) and over the preceding year, significantly increased the risk of miscarriage and the failure to achieve a live birth. In fact for every additional can of beer consumed per day in the week before sperm collection, the couple were up to 38 times more likely to experience a miscarriage and 8 times more likely to fail in becoming parents!
Another study carried out on couples undergoing IVF, showed that men who drank more than 6 units of alcohol per week were 14% less likely to become a father.
Any reduced fertility may be explained in part, by the fact that excess alcohol intake can be responsible for nutrient deficiencies. Adequate levels of certain vitamins and minerals are crucial for optimal sperm health, and alcohol can interfere with the absorption and utilization of these nutrients. For example, alcohol inhibits fat absorption, which then impacts on the absorption of the fat soluble vitamins A, E and D, all of which play a vital role in sperm production and quality. Levels of other critical nutrients such as folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin C, can also be affected by alcohol intake.
Unfortunately there’s no clear-cut answer to this question. Not everyone will be affected by the same amount of alcohol in the same way. But based on the research so far, it appears that sperm quality (and the chances of a successful IVF baby), start being affected at levels of just 5 or 6 standard drinks a week. That’s about one 330ml can of beer a day (see How much am I drinking? below).
The bottom line is, that if you want to conceive, drinking alcohol is not going to be doing you any favours, and drinking every day or binge drinking is definitely a practice to be avoided. If you are a heavy drinker, then cutting back your alcohol intake will not only have a positive impact on your general health and wellbeing, it will undoubtedly help to boost the quality of your sperm.
If having an occasional beer or having a glass of wine once or twice a week is part of your normal lifestyle, it’s unlikely to impact on your ability to conceive. However if your sperm are already subpar , or if you and your partner are having problems getting pregnant, it might be time to quit. It doesn’t have to be forever; the 3 – 4 months prior to conception is the critical time for optimizing sperm health.
Alcohol is detrimental to female fertility too and drinking during pregnancy is not advised. So limiting or giving up alcohol, together with your partner, might be a great opportunity to support each other in optimizing your fertility as a couple – and to ensure the best possible health of your baby.
Alcohol consumption is often measured in ‘Standard Drinks’ .
1 Standard Drink is 10 mg of pure alcohol
– 330ml bottle or can of beer
– 100ml glass of wine
– 30ml straight spirits

Your hubby can’t give your baby fetal alcohol syndrome, but there is some evidence alcohol can mess with his sperm. What happens? Well, according to a 1994 study on rats, male alcohol use prior to conception might hurt your chances of getting pregnant or lead to children that are smaller, have compromised immune systems, or are more prone to behavioral or hormonal disturbances. Another rat study links male drinking prior to conception to hyperactive children. On the other hand, we aren’t rats and these studies don’t necessarily mean that alcohol has the same effect on humans.
The conclusion? Talk to your doc and your husband, and then decide together whether he should cut back. Occasional drinking isn’t generally considered to be a problem, but regular (two drinks per day, or five drinks in one sitting at least once per month) or heavy drinking (more than what’s listed above) could be risky. If he drinks regularly, this might be a good time to ease off the bottle anyway — you certainly don’t want a tipsy husband taking care of a baby!
